birthday gift

Annual occasion offering

A birthday gift is a present given to someone on the occasion of their birthday.

The term is interchangeable with birthday present, though gift sounds slightly more formal.

Birthday gifts range from wrapped packages to experiences to cash in a card: I still haven't figured out a birthday gift for my mom.
